At the same time that Wu Zheng appeared in Happy Town, Diao Jun also appeared in the imperial study in the inner courtyard of the palace. Emperor Gu Shu carefully read the report sent by Wu Zheng on the situation of the Dark God Organization in Dingtang, Yuzhou Mansion. When he looked up and saw that Diao Jun seemed to have something to say, he couldn't help asking:

"What else?"

"Lord Wu also sent a package at the same time. ”

"What is it?"

The emperor is inevitably curious, since the moon envoy Wu Zheng sent a package, why did Diao Jun leave empty-handed?

It is the bones of his adoptive father Wu Lipeng, as well as the weapon used by Wu Lipeng before his death, a heavy sword. ”

The emperor didn't ask again, but gently tapped the middle finger of his right index finger on the imperial book case and pondered.

"What other relatives does Wu Zheng have?"

According to investigation, there are no close relatives in Wujiabao, only in a second-entry house under the name of Lord Wu in Yonglin Lane, Linshan Mansion City, there is his life-saving benefactor, Luo Xudong, who is nearly 60 years old in Houpo Village, Yi County; Wu Gang, a distant brother of the same generation who was expelled from the family by Wujiabao; Mr. Zhen Yuer, who has been a private school of Lord Wu for several months, and Zhen Yuer, the niece of Zhen Qingyi of Houpo Village. Then there is Jinling City, the Tie family, the head of the four major families of martial arts, and Miss Tie Ning, who has already married Lord Wu. ”

"Has the safety of these people been threatened lately?"

"When Lord Wu returned to Linshan Mansion from the capital, Wu Gang and Zhen Yuer, who lived in Yonglin Lane, were once held hostage by the two masters of martial arts, Duanmu Yuntian and Xiang Fei. It was after Lord Wu ventured to appear and lure the east end and West Chu away that Wu Gang and Zhen Yu'er were able to get out safely. ”

"Go back and privately pass a message to Xiao Pengju, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, if any of Wu Zheng's relatives are harassed by martial arts people again, there is no need for the so-called Martial Arts Alliance to exist. ”

"Yes. ”

"You set off overnight to rush to Yuzhou Mansion and lead the people to replace Wu Zheng to eradicate the remaining incense meetings of Ding Tangtang's subordinates. Try not to let Wu Zheng's identity be exposed too early. At the same time, he passed on the order to Wu Zheng, and when he discovered the Tangkou and Xianghui of the Dark God Organization in the future, he only needed to send back the detailed information, and he did not need to go out in person. ”

"Yes. ”

"As for Sun Chenghe, the servant of the Criminal Department, and his daughter Sun Ruli, who returned to Beijing Province, they will be handed over to the Criminal Department to solve. ”

"Long live, do you want to inform the Linshan Mansion to take care of Lord Wu's mansion in Yonglin Lane by the way?"

"No, the new governor of Linshan Mansion has left for his post in the past two days, and I have my own explanation. ”

"What about those captured members of the Dark God Organization?"

"The key people were brought back to the capital for strict interrogation, and the rest ...... and you know what to do. ”

"The last will understand. ”

"Go ahead. ”

After Diao Jun left, Emperor Gu Shu fell into a long period of contemplation.

For a long time, he muttered and repeated:

"Moon envoy, Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng, Moon Envoy. ......。 ”

Then he shouted out the door:

"Hu Jing. ”

The great eunuch Hu Jing entered in response to the voice, and stood in front of the emperor with his eyebrows lowered and his head bowed.

"Hooray. ”

"Xuan Ning Zezhong. ”

"Yes. ”

Ning Zezhong, who had only been home for a month, was drinking tea and reading in the study after dinner, when he suddenly received an order to announce that he would enter the palace immediately to meet him. I don't know what happened, and I can't help but feel a little apprehensive. It wasn't until the eunuch who followed the decree came to the imperial study that he heard the emperor's first sentence:

"Has Wu Zheng ever confessed to your Ning family?"

Only then did Ning Zezhong put his mind at ease.

"Back to the emperor, the night before he was deposed, Wu Zheng had already recognized the grandfather of Caomin. It's just not open to the public. ”

"Hmph, you weren't deposed at that time, you weren't a grass people. ”

"Yes. ”

The obedience meant to be joking, but there was no joking expression on the emperor's face.

"What about the Xiao family?"

"Listening to Wu Zheng's meaning, he didn't plan to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors immediately. ”

"I'm asking you what the Xiao family's plans are?"

"After Wu Zheng left the capital, Xiao Ying once looked for ...... , went to the house, but because he couldn't see Wu Zheng, he didn't explain his true intentions. ”

Emperor Gu Shu stared at Ning Zezhong for a while, obviously not believing Ning Zezhong's words. Even if Xiao Ying didn't say it explicitly, how could Ning Zezhong's vision not see through Xiao Ying's intention to see Wu Zheng?

"What has been the recent discussion in the DPRK about the establishment of the prince?"

Ning Zezhong didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask this sensitive question, and was surprised for a moment before replying:

"It's miserable. ”

Emperor Gu Shu was also stunned by Ning Zezhong's straightforward four words.

"Tell me about it. ”

"Everybody was trembling, lest they were on the wrong side ....... ”

"What about the Ning family?"

understands that the emperor is forcing himself to clarify the position of the Ning family.

"The Ning family has always been loyal and only wants to do a good job ....... ”

"I announced that you didn't want to listen to nonsense when you entered the palace. ”

After all, he was born as a military general, although it happened suddenly, but the emperor's words were all said to this point, and Ning Zezhong no longer beat around the bush.

"Ningfu is also overwhelmed, and lobbyists come to the door every day. Not only the three princes, but also the people sent by Taishi Liu and Prime Minister Jia. ”

"Who did Taishi and Jia Yi choose?"

Ning Zezhong knew that the emperor knew this, so he said without concealment:

"Liu Taishi is inclined to the eldest prince, and Jia Yi is more inclined to the sixth prince. ”

"What about you?"

Ning Ze said in the center, he is already a grass farmer who causes the elderly, no matter who he supports, what use can he have?

"This is a holy family affair ....... ”

"I didn't let you interfere in my family affairs, I just wanted to know which of the princes you think is more suitable to inherit the throne. ”

"The grass people thought that the fifth prince Chen Wang had a calm and resolute personality, and Wen Taowu was slightly better. ”

Knowing that the emperor didn't like to hear himself call himself a grass citizen, Ning Zezhong still spoke out again.

Ning Zezhong did not choose the eldest prince, the third prince and the sixth prince, who are currently considered by the outside world to be the most likely to be made the crown prince, but unexpectedly mentioned the fifth prince Chen Wang Gu Keng. This made Emperor Gu Shu once again subconsciously tap the imperial book case with the middle finger of his right index finger, and asked rhetorically while groaning:

"King Chen rarely walks around, how did you learn about his temperament?"

"Long live, have you forgotten that Sun Tianjue, the head of the grass people, once taught King Chen to ride and shoot for a year?"

"Oh. Ning Tianjue is now in the army?"

"Yes, in the army of the state capital. ”

"What is the position of any official now?"

Ning Zezhong felt a little surprised, at that time, the eldest grandson Ning Tianjue's guerrilla general from the fifth rank was personally sealed by the emperor.

"Guerrilla generals, military officers, have character but no position. ”

Of course, the dissatisfaction in Ning Zezhong's tone could be heard, and the emperor just turned up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Since you are optimistic about King Chen, then go to be King Chen's master, so as not to complain, and I don't want to hear you call yourself a grass citizen in the future. ”

It was another accident, although the emperor did not say what kind of official he was, but Chrysostom said that Ning Zezhong couldn't help but kneel down and thank him.

It's just that what Ning Zezhong didn't expect is still to come.

When the eunuch came to Ningfu the next morning to read the holy decree, he was stunned and forgot to thank him for a while. (To be continued.) )
